Details of Disappearance
Apke seemed like he was going through a hard time. In 2000, he had recently gotten his driver's license back after a DUI. He was at the Strasse Haus on Main Street in Covington, Kentucky during the evening hours of April 9. His friends told authorities that he was celebrating the reinstatement of his driver's license. Sounds like he was drinking heavily and may have taken Valium as well.
He was last seen as he departed from Strasse Haus at approximately 2:30 a.m. on April 10, which was the bar's closing time.
Apke was driving his grandmother's silver 1974 Chrysler Newport at the time of his disappearance. The car was discovered abandoned at approximately 3:20 a.m., less than one hour after Apke departed from the Strasse Haus. The vehicle had been wrecked and was located in Boone County, Kentucky on an Interstate 275 bridge heading towards Indiana. There was no sign of Apke at the scene.
There was a high drop-off from the bridge to the water below, but there were no indications Apke took his own life. According to his family's private investigator, no one noticed any behavioral changes in Apke prior to his disappearance and no one thought he might be suicidal.
An extensive search of the surrounding area produced no clues as to Apke's whereabouts. A passing motorist told authorities that the driver of the wrecked Chrysler Newport entered an unidentified Jeep Cherokee by the roadside shortly after the car crashed.
Investigators do not know if Apke chose to leave his home voluntarily or if other factors were involved in his case. It is possible that Apke feared he may have problems with law enforcement and his loved ones after the automobile crash and decided to leave of his own accord. It is unknown if foul play was involved in his disappearance.
Apke never claimed his final paycheck from his previous employer before his disappearance. He has experience working as a cook in restaurants. Apke's case remains unsolved.
